TRACY - A man from the Bay Area died Friday morning after his car collided with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 205 in Tracy, the California Highway Patrol said.

Robert Barnett, 59, of Dublin was traveling east on the freeway just east of Mountain House Parkway about 7:20 a.m. when his 2000 Jaguar made a hard right turn for unknown reasons, CHP said. Barnett's car crossed three lanes of traffic and hit a tractor-trailer driven by Jorge Ibarra, 49, of Riverside.

The Jaguar then continued underneath the trailer, causing fatal injuries to Barnett, before coming to rest in a field near the south shoulder, authorities said. Barnett was pronounced dead at the scene, CHP said. Ibarra was not injured.

The cause of death is pending results of toxicology tests, but drugs nor alcohol were believed to be a factor, and no one was arrested, CHP said.
